Why we love Children
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood trying to make the matter clearer, she said ‘ Now, class, if I stood on my head , the blood as you know , would run into it, and I would turn red in the face’.
‘ Yes ‘ the class said.
‘ Then why is it that while I am standing up right in the ordinary position the blood doesn’t run into my feet?’.
A little fellow shouted ‘ Cause your feet ain’t empty.
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic School . At the head of the table was a large pile of Apples. The nun made a note and posted on the tray: ‘ Take only ONE . GOD is watching.’
Moving further along the lunch line at the other end of the table was a large pile of cookies.
A child had written a note. ‘ Take all you want . God is watching the Apples’

Re: Why we love Children
One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice ‘ mummy will you sleep with me tonight ?’ The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug, ‘ I can’t dear’,she said ,I have to sleep in Daddy’s room’ . A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice; “ The big Sissy”.

Another woman’s story…..
When I was 6 months pregnant with my third child, my 3 year old came into the room as I was preparing to go in the shower. She said “ Mummy you are getting fat ! “ I replied” Yes honey , remember Mummy has a baby growing in her tummy” , “ I know” she replied , “ but what’s growing in your butt ? “.

A kindergarten pupil told his teacher he’d found a dead cat. “ how do you know it was dead” she asked him. “ because I pissed in its ear and it didn’t move “ he answered . “ You Did What ? “ the teacher said. “ You know “ said the boy “ I leaned over and went Pssst and it didn’t move. “.JS………
One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part where Chicken Little says to the farmer” the sky is falling” . The teacher then asked the class “ and what do you think the farmer said ? “One little girl raised her hand and said “ I think he said Holy S’it a talking chicken “.

Re: Why we love Children
A little girl was told by here mother, 'if you keep biting your fingernails you will get very fat'
Next day on the bus there is a very pregnant lady sitting opposite the little girl.
She turns to her and says
'I know what you have been doing'
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Why we love Children
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the
Group Picture. ‘ just think how nice it will be when you are all grown up and say ,‘There’s Jennifer, she’s a lawyer,’ or ‘ that’s Michael , he’s a doctor ‘. A small voice from the back of the room rang out ‘ And there’s the
Teacher , she’s dead….
